Saturation

[Sacha]

Anybody using it, what are you using and how?

I just discovered this and am digging it on kick and snare for some 'energy'. Probably nothing you couldn't recreate with compression + EQ but getting some cool results anyway.

I've never used it on kickdrums, but used tastefully on snares can yield some cool results.
What plugins are you using Enditol?

I use just a tiny bit on the master buss. It helps.

I tend to use it a lot on kick (only the highs).
I really dig Voxengo's Varisaturator.

On the master buss mainly. I've been using Tesla, mostly. I just downloaded the new Tesla Pro version yesterday, so I'll have to give that a try...

I'm just using the built in saturation in the Slate kontakt player...sounds pretty killer in moderation. I'm open to trying some other ones though.

I watched a very detailed dvd from charles dye. he had a session goin in PT with easily 60+ tracks and showed the plugins he used for each one. Literally every track used some form of saturation.

I use Tessla every now and then, but I actually think that Cubendo's own "Magneto" plugin works better/more pleasing to the ear.

How bout some clips?

Yeah, dude. Every track, to one degree or another. As human beings, we're used to hearing it. We pretty much expect to hear it. I'm sure there are many in this forum who can back me up. Including Andy. The Spider has a few HEDDs. "Harmonically Enhanced Digital Device." It has a tape saturation emulator coupled to it. Saturation is also great as a "glue," much like reverb is.

use tapehead on snare and toms

Agreed. Magneto has really helped some of my tracks along. It's a very smooth tone. Tessla tends to be quite gritty.

I also use Sonitex now... that one is really flexible and good for all kinds of lo-fi treatment.

it also works on bass and for vox effects!!! When I put it on drums, it somehow stole the quality....

There is an amazing free one out there but only for logic:
